Generator for Lift Station #16

The City of DeLand, Florida is seeking competitive sealed bids for Bid #25-06, which involves procuring an 80 KW Diesel Generator and a 260 AMP Automatic Transfer Switch for Lift Station #16. The project requires generators from approved manufacturers including Blue Star, Caterpillar, Florida Detroit Diesel, or Kohler, with a specific ASCO model automatic transfer switch. Bids are due on April 24, 2025, at 3:00 p.m. at City Hall, with a mandatory 5% bid bond required for submission. This federally assisted project is subject to Davis-Bacon Act prevailing wage requirements, Copeland Act regulations, and other federal labor standards. Bidders must comply with comprehensive documentation requirements, including monthly reporting, labor hours tracking, and Section 3 hiring provisions for low- and very low-income workers. Technical specifications and project details can be obtained from the City Hall, with questions directed to Purchasing Coordinator Corey McMillen.

The contract is funded through federal assistance, potentially from HUD, and is subject to Build America, Buy America (BABA) regulations mandating that materials be produced in the United States, with phased implementation of material origin requirements from fiscal years 2023/24 through 2025/26. While specific set-aside designations are not explicitly detailed, the project includes Section 3 provisions that encourage hiring low- and very low-income workers. Contractors providing only products are exempt from certain payroll documentation requirements. The bid specifies that if a vendor is solely supplying the generator and transfer switch, they will not need to submit comprehensive payroll documentation. No incumbent vendors are mentioned in the available documentation. The project appears to be focused on infrastructure improvement for Lift Station #16, with a clear emphasis on procurement of specific electrical and generator equipment. While no exact budget range is specified, the detailed technical requirements suggest a significant municipal infrastructure investment.
